The Chaos of a World of stats

6 Mr. White's Training

-----One week earlier-----

I began to do my basic 'Meditation' while focusing on my emotional state trying to pull out what ever magic I could, and I began to feel my room slowly begin to cool off as I continued to focus my power into the what ever magical ability I had. 'New Skill Acquired, 'Spell, Elemental Control'

I didn't realize it yet, but I was controlling the air around me to keep me cooler in my own room, before stopping my 'Meditation' to take a breath and stopping my spell at the time, not yet looking at my messages as I figured that it was just my stamina being drained. I got up and began to start making the schedule for the next week, it was generally a slow process due to not having all the necessary information at the time due to a combination of personal troubles and people not being available due to emergencies. I had to take all of this into account and the availability of those who could be called in if something happened to someone else, while he may not be the best, he is one of the most reliable people I have ever met, even though he has been late a couple of minutes.

"Tomorrow I will begin to start a few new things and maybe try to meditate with my eyes open, next time, seeing how the room felt cooler it may be my fan but I want to see if it is from my meditating or if I cast a spell, I have a magic tab now."

I said to Gerald over the phone to let him know ahead of time what I'm doing.

"Well then it seems you unlocked a spell, even if you have yet to cast the spell."

"Well the spell is called 'Elemental Control' that's the main reason I will be meditating with my eyes open to see if it is connected, I was focused on my children so I think it was connected to my feelings of love, so it may be stronger than it looks like."

"Well then you may want someone to be there to double check what it is, I have a friend who has the inspect skill."

"How can we get together so he can inspect me while I am meditating."

"I will have to have a conversation with him and see if he is willing to, if you want I can get it done by today but I will have to cut our call short."

"OK, then let's get this done and see if I am casting my spell during my meditation."

The call was ended by Gerald as I began to enjoy my day off, well I had to do some shopping, help pick up my kids for an afternoon of fun, even if it ends up with us just enjoying a couple shows between my chores, or us talking. My kids deserve the best I can give them so they can be better than me.

-----A rough day later-----

"So how did the conversation go? I hope we can get things going, I've had a rough day due to my kids mother, she has been... bothersome today."

I explained a bit to Gerald as we talked for a bit about everything going on with my test and when his investigator and I can get together to do things."

"So he can meet you in three days, and in six days for inspection tests to see how things will go and if your spell is as flexibly powerful as you believe it. I will text you his number, can we meet tomorrow around 2? I want to test something and need someone around to confirm my thesis."

"Sure, I'm off and available at that time, I will come around and I'll have my kids do a small project they haven't done yet, I hope it will help them in some way."

"Well have they done one about laws and how they keep us safe from anarchy?"

"No, not yet but, I didn't think I would have to."

"It's less about necessity and more about being useful and time consuming."

"Ah, that works too, being both educational and helpful in giving us time."

"Indeed, so I'll send you his information once we hang up."

We said our pleasantries to end the call before I waited for the Investigator's contact information. It was roughly a minute that I had to wait before I could try to set up my meeting with him in a couple of days.

"Hello, Mr. White?"

The investigator asked as he picked up his phone.

"Yes, and I'm hoping that we can meet up in three days, and then again in six days, I will still be doing my meditating between them."

"That would be best, my 'Inspect' skill is not the best, but it should still be helpful in understanding whether meditating casts your spell, or if your spell is more like a skill."

"Thank you again, so how about between 11am and 2pm?"

"That would work perfectly, I have an hour lunch at noon, so we can meet between noon and 12:30 so I can still eat."

"Why not eat while I meditate before my spell is cast or while my spell is cast?"

"I would if the restaurant opened early enough for that."

"Ah that makes sense, so what should I call you then? My partner or my trainer?"

"Call me Quin."

"Ok Quin, it was nice meeting you, and I hope we can talk more later."

"We will and it will be helpful, thank you for this opportunity and have a good day."

"Thank you, and same to you Quin."

We ended the call there before I sat down and watched a movie with my kids, I had done enough on my own and I knew they wanted to watch this movie too.

-----After a restful evening-----

I woke up and wobbled out of bed while trying to get my balance from being a bit out of it. I slept great but for some reason I just was starting to slowly have more and more issues with standing and getting my things together, getting older simply sucks.

"Hey guys do you want to go to my work?"

"Nah dad, I'm good for today."

Said the older brother.

"I will, I'll get a couple things too."

"Thanks, I appreciate it, so, do you want me to get you something on my way back?"

"No thank you, but if you surprise me, I would appreciate that dad."

I yawned as I got my stuff together and waited for my younger son for a minute by the car, before unlocking it and getting in while he got into the passenger seat and buckled up. I buckled in and tossed my water bottle into the cup holder before I drove us to my work, parking near the front so that neither of us had to walk far while still satisfying the pain in the ass building manager.

"So your usual BLT special, or would you like Daniel to make you a special?"

"I want the usual BLT dad, thank you."

"Welcome."

I say before we walked in and I went into the back to begin making my son's sandwich while Marrisa finished opening up the front and got my son a drink, just a cup of water like he normally gets.

"So what do you want to do? Want to walk down to the park while I work? or do you want me to take you back home once I get on my break?"

"I'll go to the park for a bit before taking the bus home."

"Ok, if you want to, but if it gets too hot I'll take you home."

"Thank you dad."

"No problem."

I finished my son's sandwich before handing it over and giving him a pat on the back as Daniel arrived, 15 minutes early for his shift as usual.

"So, did you make any progress?"

"No, I haven't but my book is coming along nicely."

"That's great, so about that break, I assume that will be for the level up confirmation test?"

"Yeah, its a pain in the butt, but at least we are moving forward still and we are doing things alright as a company as well."

"True but Marrisa also needs to take a week break, she is stressing herself out while we have enough people right now, and three of us can bake for her."

"I know, I was kind of hoping for her to take it off as well, seeing that after the test we may have some chaotic days while my stats are released to the public, showing that a young'un has reached level two while some 50 and 60 year old's still haven't even touched their experience bar yet."
